Southern California - Tprevost reaches new heights

Yep, mom made me dinner and a great breakfast this morning.:D Then we went for a walk before we left this morning.
must be nice... I got my breakfast from the guy at the Chevron... who remembered me from yesterday and commented that he was glad that he didn't have to pick me up off the road :p

yeah, but once I got to the finish I did NOT want to get back on the bike... I assume you probably felt the same way....


I know I had never been so happy to be off the bike.:o

I'll probably be feeling that way after next weekend, after the GT. Everyone will be waiting impatiently for me to finish.

yeah... that final stretch on 89 right before it hit Chester was the longest stretch of road I've ever been on in my life!!!! Even though it was slightly downhill I was SOOOOooooo tired! :eek:

That was a fast section, but I was hurting pretty bad by then. I worked with another guy that last 16 miles and we were really flyin. Still seemed like it took forever.:rolleyes:

yeah...but even doing a 100 w/7k is awesome...I wouldnt even attempt it!

if you knew this route, you would.... its pretty much the same route we did over memorial day.... two long grades make up the majority of it and I did one of them last weekend (the other was tougher though). I figure I'll pace really slow and try to make up some of it on the downhills :rolleyes:

I would.............with a tow rope!:rolleyes: :p

seriously, if I can make it, so could you....I think it has to do with the fact that both climbs go up to a summit and immediately on the other side of each climb is a great downhill so you don't even really have to go any distance on flat road (at least at the memorial day ride).... maybe just knowing that makes them survivable?

thanks :D I am enjoying it! The new handlebars are en route and hopefully the seatpost will get here soon so eventually it'll be done ;) Oh yeah, and VMC is making me get a new saddle so that'll get replaced sometime too ;)

Congrats Tracy! By the way, don't try to make up time on downhills. All the effort gets eaten up by wind resistance. On long tough climbing rides, if the goal is to finish, slow down and rest on downhills and flats, and pace at an endurance pace on the climbs. You'll do great.

Good job baby girl
I knew you could do it

thanks Jason :D No worries... I can't make up that much on the downhills anyway ;)

Great job Trac! So proud, so proud...
